Democrats are vowing to push new gun-control legislation and to revive stalled bills in Michigan’s Republican-led Legislature following a mass shooting that left four high school students dead and others with serious injuries.
But GOP leaders, who have long opposed such measures and have favored looser restrictions, did not immediately commit to policy changes.
In June, Bayer introduced legislation aimed at holding accountable adults who fail to secure their firearms., Ethan Crumbley, used a handgun that his father had bought four days earlier, authorities said. “If the incident yesterday with four children being murdered and multiple kids being injured is not enough to revisit our gun laws, I don’t know what is. … We need to make sure and want to know that when we send our kids to school, they’re safe. Responsible gun ownership is imperative. It’s critical.”
